The Beggar Clan or Beggar Sect (丐幫) is a fictional martial arts organisation featured in works of wuxia fiction by writers such as Jin Yong, Gu Long and Wolong Sheng. The clan has also found its way into martial arts films such as King of Beggars and video games such as Age of Wushu. As its name suggests, the clan's members are mostly beggars, although some of them are from other walks of life. They are noticeable in public for their dress code and behaviour. The members adhere to a strict code of conduct and maintain the utmost respect for rank and hierarchy. They uphold justice and help those in need through acts of chivalry. The Beggar Clan is also one of the supporting pillars in the defence of the Han Chinese nation from foreign invaders. The clan has a wide network of communications and the members are reputed for their excellent information gathering skills. This is due to the clan's large size and the nature of its members, which allows them to easily blend into different segments of society.
